I have got to stop reading Last War in Albion at 4am; tonight I read the phrase "Blake said in a 2014 seance" and didn't pause over it until I'd got to the end of the paragraph.
It's quite incredible how it's somehow taboo to say the obvious truth about the UK, which is that it's a well integrated society where most people just get on with their lives no problem. Apart from a core of extremely insulated journalists and politicians who refuse to be integrated.

I'd like to come back as some carrots and sweet peas. #TheLeftovers
Not the main point of this piece but good that people keep remembering this
I keep getting ads for the Ted TV show and it looks like the worst thing ever.
Ha, I didn't know this for ages after I saw the episode.
a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size
I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow
Imagine being an adherent of a non Christian religion in this town. Imagine it in America, I guess.
The opening sequence questions whether people are really receiving divine signs, or if it's just a random bird. That's another thing humans keep doing.
I've forgotten so much about this show, such as the fact that they really got the Perfect Strangers guy for the sake of this running 5 second reference. #TheLeftovers
(Don't Google it, as even the initial results usually bring up a catastrophic level of spoiler.)
I swear to bob, @dominicburgess.bsky.social you are absolutely everywhere! #TheLeftovers
Idk if this was intentional because idk at what point they decided the ending but this is one person getting left alone on the other side of a cataclysm...
For most of human history people were just going through things we have no record of even probably a proper conception of. But they made art and fell in love and had babies too.
It's so ok! You can meet new people but the bonus is if you're travelling alone you can also plan your own schedule and leave things if you get fed up with them!
I think about caveperson lady a lot but I'd forgotten this is where she's from! #TheLeftovers

Maybe that's why they changed the title music. π
Kudos to Lindelof for framing all this in a way where people mostly didn't expect answers and were also ok with the spiritual themes, something that was certainly not accomplished with the framing of Lost. (I mean, it was to me, but I'm special/already mentally ill.) #TheLeftovers
The #fandommarket is a fab way to pick up some incredible, one-of-a-kind crafts. And if you're someone who's looking for something TRULY unique to you, you're in luck β some crafters are offering commissions & custom items made exactly to your preference. Here are some adorable ones to get started.
Didn't realise until my third look at this post that one of my items is there. π

This is a horrific case of a young woman being held enslaved for 25 years. I hope the media emphasises she had a learning disability and her abuser had Β£100,000 of her benefits paid into her account. This is grotesque abuse - but also a scandalous state failure. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
